Arctic Monkeys have announced a June release for their fourth album, called Suck It And See, produced by Simian Mobile Disco man James Ford.

The news follows last week's unveiling of new track Brick By Brick, the video for which hammers home the song's 'new' legitimacy (a close-up of the record stamp at 2:39 shows a recording date of February 2011), as opposed to being a hangover from the Humbug sessions, which Ford - along with Josh Homme - also had a hand in producing.

The similarities are there, though: big, heavy, and slightly haunting. Albeit uptempo and silly enough (the lyrics, the cascading chorus) to not take itself too seriously.

Suck It And See drops in the UK on 6 June, a day later in the US. Tracklisting below…
